The best way is to schedule a pickup. The cost is the same, $15. Either way, you do have to make appointments to do a drop off (or schedule a pickup).  The drop off location allows for larger drop offs than residential curbside pickup, so if you have a lot of materials this is the way to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also learn more on their website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wmatyourdoor.com\/\">www.WMAtYourDoor.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Waste Management drop off  is located at 3730 E 48th Ave, Denver, CO 80216.
